A structured geographical catalogue of seismic events identified by epicentre proximity to the archipelago.
This historical catalogue provides a structured dataset of recorded seismic events associated by location with the Lastovo Nature Park archipelago in Croatia. Users can browse individual earthquake records, including event dates, magnitudes, focal depths, and calculated epicentre distances relative to the park. The collection draws upon standardized seismic data to offer clear geographical context for geological activity within the broader Dalmatian region.
Remote Dalmatian island archipelago with Venetian heritage and pristine Mediterranean forests
Lastovo is a nature park encompassing a remote island archipelago in the central Dalmatian region of Croatia, located approximately 13 kilometers south of Korčula in the Adriatic Sea. The protected area includes the main island of Lastovo along with 45 smaller islands and islets, forming one of the most isolated inhabited island groups in the Adriatic. The landscape features a distinctive karst terrain with 46 hills and 46 karstic fields, crowned by Mount Hum at 415 meters elevation. Despite suffering from major wildfires in 1971, 1998, and 2003, approximately 60-70% of the island remains covered with Mediterranean forests of Holm Oaks and Aleppo Pines. The archipelago was designated as a nature park in 2006, making it the eleventh protected area of its kind in Croatia, recognizing both its significant natural biodiversity and its rich cultural heritage spanning millennia of human occupation.
Filter Lastovo earthquake records by magnitude, depth, and distance
Lastovo Nature Park’s earthquake catalogue relates reported epicentres to its remote Dalmatian archipelago by calculated protected-area distance, without assigning seismic meaning to karst terrain, island cliffs, or Adriatic waters. Each entry retains its date, magnitude, depth, locality, source, and park distance for historical comparison without asserting coastal effects, present risk, or recurrence.
This page describes catalogued earthquakes associated with the park by epicentre location and distance. It does not establish causation, assess current danger, or predict future earthquakes.
